According to several leading educational psychologists, this is one of the biggest mistakeswhich ambitious parents make. Generally, the child will be only too aware of what his parents expect, and will fail. Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to children. However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are ambitious in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well – especially if the parents are very supportive of their child. Michael Collins is very lucky. He is crazy about music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive him 50 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons. Michael’s mother knows very little about music, but his father plays the trumpet in a large orchestra. However, he nevermakes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling. Winston Smith, Michael’s friend, however, is not so lucky. Both his parents are successful musicians, and they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are and so they enter him for every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.Câu 31: Michael Collins is fortunate in that ______.A. his father is a musician B. his parents are quite richC. his mother knows little about music D. his parents help him in a sensible wayCâu 32: Winston’s parents push their son so much and he ______.A. has won a lot of piano competitions B. cannot learn much music from themC. has become a good musician D. is afraid to disappoint themCâu 33: One of the serious mistakes parents can make is to ______.A. help their child to become a genius B. make their child become a musicianC. neglect their child’s education D. push their child into trying too muchCâu 34: Parents’ ambition for their children is not wrong if they ______.A. force their children into achieving success
